The first new Opel Zafira has driven off the production line in
Opel’s Rüsselsheim plant with Opel CEO Dr. Karl-Thomas Neumann, Vice
President Manufacturing Phil Kienle and Plant Manager Michael Lewald in
attendance. A Magma Red Zafira with OPC line package, equipped with AFL
LED technology (AFL = Adaptive Forward Lighting) and radar-based
adaptive cruise control was the first of its kind to leave the
production line.
The new Zafira is the latest model in Opel’s product offensive, which will see 29 new models brought to market from 2016 through 2020.

“We have once again had a great start. I am proud to work with a team
that is so passionate about our products, thus making such successes
possible,” said Plant Manager, Michael Lewald.
The Opel Zafira has been synonymous with exceptional versatility and
high comfort ever since 1999, when Opel introduced the revolutionary
integrated Flex7® seating system in the compact van segment.
To date, 2.7 million Zafiras have been sold. It is especially popular
with families and professionals looking for a spacious and versatile
vehicle for long-distance travel.
The new Opel Zafira not only retains the qualities of its predecessor
such as the AGR-certified ergonomic front seats (Aktion Gesunder Rücken
e.V.), the FlexFix® bicycle carrier and the adaptive
FlexRide chassis. It also comes with an equally expressive exterior
design, newly designed cockpit and outstanding connectivity. The latest
generation IntelliLink infotainment systems are compatible with both
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the new personal connectivity and
service assistant Opel OnStar turns the new Zafira into a mobile 4G/LTE
Wi-Fi hotspot1 for all occupants, thus making it a perfectly connected lounge on wheels.
1 Wi-Fi, when it becomes available, will require OnStar to
be activated. Wi-Fi data connection will not be supplied by OnStar.
Mobile network operator terms and conditions will apply. Charges will
apply after applicable free trial period. Coverage and availability vary
by location and conditions.
